i remember when yandex used to be much better than google pre-2020 but somewhere along the way it's for real just dogshit, like at least lens is okay half the time, yandex image search flat out does not work for me whatsoever

>>11620385
At least yandex is still good for finding torrents and resources of pirated media, google scrubs the hell out of them. But everything related to images is screwed across the board unfortunately.

>Yeah, AI is kinda to blame for this.
AI is making it worse, but internet searching has been painfully inbred for a while now. Some years back I was searcing for reference images of some kind of factory, and literally every image result was from Minecraft unless I specifically put (-minecraft) in the search. SEO is largely to blame. AI is just kicking SEO into hyperdrive.

I don't know about these. I've gotten used to the realistic interpretations that Hasbro does so these look weird. Obi-Wan at least has some cuts in the tunic but Anakin looks like he will be a traffic cone. Loli Ahsoka is cool I guess but don't think she would look right next to my black series. Even though clone wars was a huge part of my childhood, I don't care enough anymore to shell out for these lol

>>11623471

The original Jabba release was like 89, so that's not that bad of a price hike. 20 bucks a pop for the court denizens is a bit much, but at least they're all great figures apart from Ree-Yees (who isn't even bad, just dated in comparison to the others).

Every other company seems capable of navigating Chinese manufacturing without ripping off customers and then ghosting them. Regardless of what happened in China, the lack of any communication is totally unacceptable. When you add in the fact that these people have pulled scams before, it's impossible to take them at their word here.

Well travel for business for a week now.

Not much to do once having to move on from places that have toy and plastic model stores besides looking around in the local convenience stores.

So i got these.

I also find tomica's Tesla Model S and 3. To be fair I really thanks Tesla sedans look so horrible in a bland way.

I just love the fact the way Hot Wheels are packaged, you are pretty much guaranteed to have scratches on the side that's come in contact with the cardboard.

I know these are cheap toys but still, fucked up paint because of packaging issue is really a bummer.

Having bad paint from the factory is one thing it's another thing to have something that's totally preventable. With tomica, they wrapped the car in a clear plastic bag with the box version and for the carded version the car is secured by a tray.

Well at least the bus is fine. Only the roof is painted and the plastic rear mirror prevented any contact between the roof and the card.

I still do not believe "many" children could build it, despite what you believe. If you look at the "average" child I don't think the "average" 8 year old could build it. An autistic or more focused 8 year old could, I suppose. An average American 8-10 year old could not build it. Keyword is average, as I stated several times.

I can make excuses, but I personally found the directions somewhat misleading. I followed most of it, but some sections/pieces were not properly explained on what to do, and as for google translate, I did actually use that, and it didn't really help very much. I assure you that you're coming down on me very hard for someone who has never built one of these before. You might be shocked at how many adults would probably fuck it up if they built one for the first time.

Two tips-
Find something to play in the background, an audiobook or video essay, something that will last a few hours.
And get some safety pins to help you apply the stickers, your fingers are too fat for this.

This board needs region flags for creatures like you.

i preordered the cowboys of moo mesa as soon as the page went up.
they dont reply to anything about them on their social media. they acknowledged the figures maybe once 6 months ago in a facebook post with some cows at a farm.
they keep putting out comics and cartoons and making new figures, they teased the 3D models for a wave 2 of the moo mesa figurines, but you know, they still havent shipped the fucking first wave and wont talk about the first wave.

whats up with that? ive never bought any other nacelle stuff before i dont know if this is normal.

>>11622782
They're a newer company, but they're getting stuff out. I wouldn't worry too much, they only just now got their Star Trek wave 1 up for order.

can you guys rec some flat snips?

Just go to your local hardware store and see which ones are flats. You don't need any specific brands or models.

P-Bandai are doing their Winter Fest sale starting on Friday and ending three weeks later.

>>11611783
this
heat it up with a hair dryer from about a foot away for 5 seconds at a time and then letting it cool down for 5 seconds after
do that 5 times each and then put it down for about 5 minutes to cool down completely
do NOT move any of the joints yet
after a 5 minute cooldown period get a small bucket and fill it up with warm water
the temperature you're looking for is between 122°f and 139°f for optimal effect
get yourself a ziplock bag and put your figure in it and only then put it into the warm water
get a timer because you're going to want to dip it for about a minute and a half at a time with a 3 minute cooldown period inbetween
do that 3 times and then take the figure out the ziplock bag and put it down to cool down for about 30 minutes at least
now you can start slowly moving the joints that were too tight but it's best to not push them too much and repeat the process one or two more times for the best and safest outcome

The table is too small for 1/12, though, with no real clearance for even a womanlet's legs unless you fake it. Table surface is at 5.7cm.

Thanks for the pics and write up, I have this sitting in my HLJ locker and I'm just waiting for some other items to come in stock before shipping it.

Knowing the walls work with Legions is reassuring, but I fully expected the furniture to be woefully undersized for them. I'm sure this stuff will work great with most JP lines though, as they're always slightly smaller skewed 1:12 stuff.

I was pretty keen on the Barb when it first released, but I'm feeling a bit ambivalent now. We've got two versions of Frazetta Girls Conan, Heroic Signatures Battle of Blackstone Conan, and Boss Fight Reaver of the Black Coast Conan. Not to mention all of the Super7 Arnie Conan figures, FG Darkwolf and Norseman, and at least 5 barbarians from Savage Crucible (Who-man, Krieger the Shunned, Frazetta's Warrior, Varnoks Unchained and Kubla Khan) in addition to the Legionscon Armory Gladiators,and Attlus from the Riding Sons wave.
Do I really need a generic not-quite-Conan barbarian figure? If I bought all these, my shelf would look more like a Chippendales show.

Please do. I checked out of the stream after the wave reveals, so the only thing I know about it is what you've mentioned here.

Not exactly the best quality pic, but it's the best I can do on short notice.

It's basically the same concept as the SDCC release where it's a more "Basic" Paladin that can "Class Change" into a Cleric with added gear.

Only with the new figure, they don't have soft goods and instead the torso, waist armor and loin cloth are newly molded pieces. The idea being that the figures can be sold at a lower price point with less accessories (Paladin only comes with a sword and two faceplates iirc) and the "Upgrade" sets are sold on their own so you can customize your base figure.

The *idea* sounds great, but it really relies on them actually putting out a variety of base figures AND lots of optional sets. If each character only gets one "class" upgrade set, then it's just a really lame concept.

The Base figure also has a little cardboard standee (iirc) that can be used on the TTRPG, while you can use the larger figure for more "focused" encounters while playing. But again, don't really care about the RPG aspects, I'm just happy to get cheaper figures and individual gear sets. I don't even want the SDCC version anymore, as those red Paladins would be perfect troops for the Leodyssian army.

>>11623345
>Not exactly the best quality pic
Good enough. I can see what we are talking about.
And the Paladin is supposed to be slightly cheaper than a basic figure? Sold. I still want to see how much they flesh out the idea with the Upgrade Packs, because like you said, they need to have a decent range for this to work well, but it's good just to have more cheap army builders again.
>I don't even want the SDCC version anymore, as those red Paladins would be perfect troops for the Leodyssian army.
Same, but I might still grab one of the SDCC version for a cleric. Green works for the cleric, but his paladin set up isn't even on my mind since it won't really fit any army I've got going.
